I had a meeting at the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart and was recommended to stay at the Relaxa Waldhotel.

I was very pleased overall with the hotel and can highly recommend business travellers or holiday makers.

The location is approximately 15 minutes by taxi from the airport, and approximately same sort of time by taxi to the train station. It is also possible to take a local bus to the hotel(Traffic was light during my time of travel, so this needs to be taken into account).

The big plus for me was being able to walk to the Max Planck, which even involved a short walk through the forest next door.

My room was a junior suite for 160 Euros, per night. The suite comprised a very spacious living room and bedroom area, with floor to ceiling windows with views of the forest.

A gym and sauna are also available within the hotel

Food was excellent and certainly a wide enough range to cater for all tastes.

In short if you're looking for a hotel a bit off the beating track in Stuttgart then I can highly recommend the fine hospitality of the Relaxa Waldhotel

Once I found the place, the hotel was perfect. Good sized rooms. Quiet surroundings. Friendly staff and large buffet breakfast. Not bad for €99. Stayed 2 weeks later.

I had a guaranteed reservation at this hotel, which I confirmed 2 days prior to my arrival. However, when I arrived at the hotel at 22:30, I was informed that a mistake was made, the hotel was fully booked and there were no rooms available. I was also informed that a reservation was made for me at another hotel 20 km away and was given a map with directions in German on how to get to that hotel. The same thing happened to the colleague who was travelling with me. It appears that this hotel does not feel obligated to honor guaranteed reservations, so a late arrival may result in no room.

Pleasant hotel on the edge of a forest, but still close to Stutgart centre. I had a "de luxe" room, but apart from being slightly larger than other rooms, there was nothing which would give you any feeling of luxury. Their casual restaurant served good food, but I found it a little too impersonal. Breakfast is included in the room price and was served in the same restaurant. It was OK, but nothing more than average. .
